Meet VUNK TOP 7 team: Airsoftracker

In an alphabetical order get to know #GetVunked2015 team No. One - Airsoftracker & team lead Ali Baloi. They are going to bind and blend real airsoft games
with the virtual game experience - so future of that game (& more to follow?) is going to change big time!

Ali, what entrepreneurs do you admire and
why?

In my opinion all entrepreneurs
who have many employees in their companies and a huge amount of satisfied
customers for their service deserve respect.

So frankly speaking, I admire every
person whose business success story I read on the internet or newspaper.

If we talk about those who inspire
me to do something outstanding and big, so of course I will name the founders
of IT companies which were founded in Estonia and the Baltics like Creative
Mobile, GrabCAD, ERPLY, Pipedrive, Infogr.am and many more. I believe that
faith in success appears if you see how your close friends are able to make
really great things.

What does success look like for your startup Airsoftracker?

I would say that we have succeeded
in our business if every airsoft player in the world registered himself/herself
or a team to games only through the Airsoftracker platform. Moreover, when
preparing for the next battle he/she charges not only an airsoft gun, but also
a smartphone.

Tell me about your team dynamics (culture).

Airsoftracker's team consists of
young and very passionate IT professionals. All of us played computer
shooter games a lot in the past and now one dream unites us all.

All we want is to bind real
airsoft games with the virtual game experience. During breaks from coding we
discuss the features that each member of the team wants to see and try in the
first release.

Actually, each of us understands
that only the airsoft community has right to decide this. I am glad that our
team is always ready to pay attention to what airsoft players
are saying to us through their feedback.

What will your market look like in
five years as a result of using your product or service?

I don't really like to give
predictions about the future. What I can say is that Airsoftracker
is definitely going to make a huge impact on the current state of
airsoft sport.

Starting up from inside a corporate

In addition
to the two teams participating in the VUNK Accelerator programme today, quite a
few teams who did not manage to set up their team during the hackathon weekend
in August have independently developing their idea future.

For example Career3, a team from Eesti Telekom, was not able to find developers at a right time, but the energy of the authors of the idea has not run out – quite the opposite.
